I've been a travel nurse for 20+ years and most facilities have some disturbing occurrence. Currently I'm at a hospice facility and occasionally I get a feeling that I'm not alone, although I've never 'knowingly' seen an apparition. However.... I do ...

i'm a traveler and i want to open a no - nonsense converation regarding the goods n' bads of travel companines & facilities. we can only benefit from the info. so bring it on....

thank you, i'll check it out.

yes. i've been this road before. i no longer accept precepting new nurses for the hospital, neither do i accept charge nurse responsibilies or monitor tech. i have a copy of the job discription always handy. i've found if you do it once, it now becom...

that's a hell of a good feeling isn't it. i get that urge to be gone after three months even if it's a good assignment. travelers in this prof. are a unique lot, we hate it on the one hand but one the other we love it more. kinda wierd...another wie...

my initial reaction of being too old for dormlife at age 24 struck me as funny. it should actually help as you have more maturity, the only issue is if you will be able to sleep, which is all you will be doing there. accelerated bsn programs are very...

no wonder i get blank stares from nurse recruiters - however,$19 when i was a new grad would have been fantastic. but now.. i can,t see showing up. sorry, i have no info regarding tampa areas to live & work. there are i'm sure an array of possib...

i work in jupiter med center. it's okay..depends on where you work (tele) is a hell. the staff are semi-friendly, fairly good help (cnas, secretaries), chg nurse is free but don't seem to do much. one of the worse computer systems. the pharmacy is fa...

sorry, for what. no onelse washes their hands? i sort of interpeted this to be some sort of hazing by facility. really i don't think, washing their hands & desks for Tests are a sterile procedure. and i'm sorry too if i misread your reply

thaaaaank you. this is very helpful.

on the positive side, know that you have the option to leave. this is one of the greatest benefit inherent as a traveler. i too have assignments where i've marked the days off a caleder...i empathize with you. keep to the fundamentals and you will be...

well sure - it's possible- all depends on expenses (what is the cost to make you happy) don't even know where these places are..sounds cool. my plan is 2-3 weeks in colombia in dec. jan., then 2-3 weeks jun- july europe or wheverth'hell...all depend...

jfk or any of the hca hospitals are thumbs down... patient load maxed with no help (that you can find). i've heard good things for naples and ft. myers but pay very mediocre. orlando pay better - job wise i can't say. health first (melbourne area &am...

:lol2:haaaa. you is joking, i like you already.

;)woow me too,i guess i'm teetering on the edge.didn't know "big brother" had his hooks in so deep. hey i'm good

think of it as boot camp! i didn't do that per se, but every clinical was as severe as the military. the only thing not regulated was underwear - i wore bart simpson drawers under my whites. the only thing i can prescribe is if this is what you want ...

indigo in florida you are as unique as anyonelse - meaning everone in florida is from somewherelse. now in ltc (in which florida is God's waiting room) you may work until you too are a patient in ltc...and then maybe. .true most of the ltcs are staff...

can happen to anyone i suppose. shouldn't be like this, according to the borchure, however you may have noticed it happens. is dog-eat-dog sometimes, do what you need to survive. getting out of the prof. will not really be the answer, as i'm sure mob...

thanx--any info is much appreciated. yeah, i'm in for full time traveler (have been a "local" traveler for several years) i'm getting restless, starting to look further down the road when it's my exit. had disappointments with credibility of a couple...

i'm concidering on going with fastaff. anyone have any opions?

okay tommy do you believe in "mobbing " now? does not matter either way it does, as a traveler i get to experience it now and then. i take advantage of them when they are not scheduled together, my advice is to take this opportunity and be relentles...

something i've thought about for years, if i'm doomed to pass away in a hospital and if i have the option. i would like to hang aroung awhile. think of all the fun you could have...

i work in many hospitals (being in a traveler), many have haunted stories. i take them all at face value...but do not discredit any. because i've had several episodes when the hair was freakin' out! this sounds like a story column of it's own, everyt...

gives me chills.

i agree, we're not alone. want to experience a good sample of the crosssection of our population go to your local walmart on any given weekend to experience aggression, frustration, rudeness...or call a "customer service" of any company at any tme, d...
